The Moonstone

The Moonstone, a priceless Indian diamond which had been brought to England as spoils of war, is given to Rachel Verrinder on her eighteenth birthday. That very night, the stone is stolen. Suspicion then falls on a hunchbacked housemaid, on Rachel's cousin Franklin Blake, on a troupe of mysterious Indian jugglers, and on Rachel herself.

Piatra Lunii, un diamant indian nepretuit care fusese adus in Anglia ca prada de razboi, i se daruieste Rachel Verrinder la cea de-a 18-a aniversare. Chiar in noaptea aceea, piatra este furata.
